“I’ve been buying lotteries for the last 35-40 years. I will distribute the winning amount among my two sons and to my ‘Dera’,” Dwarka Dass quotes these lines to ANI.

However, Mahant will not be getting the full amount (5 crore) of the lottery as the lottery prize will be subjected to the tax deduction. According to Assistant Lottery Director, Mahant will receive the lottery amount after the 30% tax deduction from Rs 5 crore.
